Kronos Branding Story:
A style guide for Kronos a hair care brand I discovered color pallets, typefaces, made an imagery storyboard, researched possible packaging materials & wrote a short treatment on the brands metaphors and emotional themes. I began creating possible logotypes, marks and typographic treatments, created a table of elements idea for combining products into groups, came up with naming ideas for individual products and created possible bottle and packaging designs.
Animalia Essential Oil Candles:
Animalia is a collection of essential oil candles that have healing qualities. My approach to the branding stemmed from researching and interacting with the essential oils. This led me to discovered a system of organic shapes that in combination with a logotype became the basis for the identity and packaging. I also created a website and online store for this project.
Hourglass Cosmetics:
Margo Chase of Chase Design Group Created the Mark, Logotype & Leather Case for Hourglass Cosmetics. I met Carisa Janes the creator a little bit later and designed the typographical treatment, packaging, bottles, labels, and also designed and developed the e-commerce website.
Cocaine Whites:
I came across these DEA photos of a cocaine bust on the internet which showed all these kilos piled up with a primitive scorpion stamped onto them. This inspired me to experiment with image and packaging until I arrived at what you see here. This is one of my favorite projects.
Ingenue Magazine:
This is a spread featuring Kristianna Loken for Ingenue magazine. I was really satisfied with the way the letterforms reflected her form in the photo.
Cynthia Boxrud Eyetopia Collection:
This project was a branding and style guide for Cynthia A. Boxruds cosmaceutical line Eyetopia. She wanted clinical but fresh. I tried to keep all the elements simple & clean while juxtaposing bright springtime clouds of color. I managed to sneak in a very abstracted eye of horus for the mark.
Pure Movment:
This was some layout and imagery juxtaposition I did for a brochure for puremovment. Puremovment was a campaign for a unique alternative energy system used for small and light vehicles. I did this work through the very talented people over at x-ist
University of Phoenix:
Graphics for University of Phoenix graduation ceremony.
MTV Hits Website:
Website for the show MTV hits I designed over at pinacol in San Clemente. Another Agency had produced some TV spots and I used those as the Art direction. The site was pretty cool users could make there own hit lists play games and watch behind the scenes video.
Laura Scudders Website:
A comp for a website pitch I did for pinacol . Part of the creative brief called for humor and old 50's imagery. This is what I came up with.. and if you have never packed your pipe with Laura Scudders bean dip I highly suggest it. Spicy!
Adidas Salomon:
This was a flash stock quote header I designed while at TBWA\Chiat\Days interactive division Tequila. Nice & Clean, not too much more to say about it, I mostly put it in here for name recognition.
Argus Realty Investors:
Well this is your standard mid-sized company logo project. The client wanted to see a building in the logo and it took a lot of variations to discover the mark. Here are a few that worked.
Your 401k Connect:
This was a project I did for vWise . The Art Direction was done by Mike Butier at Butier Design . I handled the Information Architecture and Actionscript Flash development along with filling out some design here and there. The idea is to help educate and lead employees through the decisions they need to make about thier 401k program.
Kikkoman Your Teriyaki:
A DEV project I did for the guys over at pinacol in San Clemente. I developed a lazy susan type rotating navigation system in Actionscript Flash.
E! Entertainment Drop Down Menu:
This is another DEV project I did through creativengine . E! Had redesigned there site and needed help developing some CSS drop down menus. I used the Son of Suckerfish code as a jumping off point and made 'em work.
Ezekiel Clothing Website Development:
I developed a few of the Ezekiel Clothing websites through Clark Studios . My role was purely technical: HTML & CSS, Actionscript & Flash, integrating Zip locators & CMS systems into the mix.
Chase Design Group Website Development:
I did this project through creativengine . I built a dynamic flash site with an XML content management system for easy updating of the work news and menus. This project was a strange coincidence because Margo had designed the logo and tree illustration for Hourglass a project which I later did the packaging for. Then randomly I happened to develop her website, I only met her once and found the whole thing very amusing.

Toyota Highway to the Future:
Another dev project I did with creativengine . This was a really interesting project. Toyota got a 53 foot 18 wheeler and outfitted the back as a mobile interactive kiosk expereince. Then they travelled across America teaching people about the environment and alternative fuels. My role was mostly Actionscript, Flash and layout for the Carbon Footprint Calculator Kiosk.
Microsoft View my World:
A DEV project I did for pinacol . This was an Actionscript Flash Video project that was developed to try to trick people into working for microsoft :) The website has some pretty entertaining videos with a singing cowboy that made me laugh. I don't know what else to type about this one.
Panasonic Sales Presentation Tool:
This was an interesting project I developed through the folks over at MossWarner . The art direction and design were done by Jack Fearing. This was a customizable presentation engine I programmed with Actionscript Flash & MDM Zinc. It allowed the Panasonic sales force to create custom presentations for their inflight hardware software solutions. The admin Interface allowed them to add and remove slides, create title slides & talking point slides.
United Way:
This was a monster of a DEV Project I did for pinacol . It was a very cool idea all flash video moving silhouettes in various locations leading you into a first hand account of a personal story to pull at your heart strings and donate to the United Way. I was stuck with making it work in Flash 7 which was much more difficult then using a newer version of flash but it got done. It got done.
Procore Website:
Procore was a very cool company and I had a lot of fun (and hang overs) working with these guys. They were an Action sports trading card company. The Branding, Art Direction and Card Design were done by Justin Clark at Clark Studios . I took care of the website keeping in line with what Justin had already created and handling the Actionscript / Flash Development along with a pretty basic PHP Content Management System.
Real-D Website Development:
A pinacol DEV project. Real-D Came with a idea for a Flash based rotating video cube integrated into a CMS. I wasn't even sure if it was possible but with the help of Papervision3D and programming genius Jeremy Smith, it came together pretty smoothly.
Rev Cube Sales Demo:
This was a development and flash animation project I did for MossWarner . This was a flash sales demo with some simple navigation controls for a new analytics and online marketing company RevCube. Just one of those things that pops up and you say OK I can do that, I could use the money. What did I use that money for anyway?
